Pre-Sieve 3A Molecular Sieve is specifically manufactured for use in Ethanol Dehydration Units (EDUs) to remove water from ethanol streams. This dehydration process creates a fuel grade ethanol that can be used for direct blending and ETBE production, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and more.

Used for the dehydration of ethanol
Capable of removing water to less than one percent
Allows ethanol to be used in biofuels, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and more
Offers advantageous crush strength, adsorption capacity, and selectivity for water
This molecular sieve has a high selectivity for water over ethanol molecules, which can increase both efficiency and capacity of the dehydration unit and create cost savings for operators capable of removing water to less than one percent.
Maximum adsorption capacity for water
Minimal attrition or breakup
Low catalytic activity
Enhanced adsorption mass transfer properties
Maximum service life
